She is the GM and I am a shift supervisor and now that were not on good terms, I'm afraid ill lose my job if i say something. Is there a legal avenue i can take?
The laws which govern the workplace are complex and often require the analysis of substantially more facts than are provided in your posting.
What is the reason she is now treating you differently? Is it just because of the ending of the relationship, or is it for some other reason?
What types of actions have been taken to make you fear that you may lose your job?
Have they reduced your pay? Hours? etc.?
Again, it is hard to give much guidance based upon the limited info provided. However, if you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact my law firm. We can arrange a no-fee telephone consultation to discuss these issues in greater depth and confidentially (that is, not on a public website posting). Thank you and best of luck.

While it may sound surprising, there are a number of court cases that deal with situations like yours, that is, where a consensual office relationship turns sour and results in unfavorable treatment in the workplace. While most workplace disputes depend heavily on the specific facts, and you may be able to provide details that suggest your case is unusual, the general rule is that it is not unlawful for a boss to treat a subordinate unfavorably because the relationship has ended or turned sour. The courts typically say that the unfavorable treatment is not because of any particular protected classification of the employee (such as gender, race, or national origin), but rather because of a relationship gone bad. Those circumstances generally do not qualify for legal protection.
